Here is a question I have mickey and please I want to take the question out of the 'whether Singer played the double up or not' arena and just make it a general question about the double up for anyone who might have discovered it and played it.

So even in my limited VP play, I have had numerous times that a machine malfunctioned, things like I held 4 oak and one the draw one disappeared. So you call an attendant over and they open up the machine and they can see what the original hand was pre-draw. And in each of my cases have paid me, which is not the point.

So if that information is available, wouldn't the denomination information ALSO be available for the hand played in question? Wouldn't somebody be able to see that the denomination was changed? And I don't think it would take opening up the machine to have that information. It is computers, that same info would be available to someone upstairs without opening the machine.
